It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #5

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?is hosted byBook Date.
The idea is to share what you've read lately, what you're currently
reading, and what you plan to read next. I love seeing what other people
are reading and then adding to my never-ending TBR, so I thought this
would be a fun meme to participate in each week!

What I Read Last Week:

The Last of August by Brittany CavallaroThis is the sequel to A Study in Charlotte, one of my favourite books of 2016. I loved seeing Charlotte and Jamie again and following along with their latest adventures. My review for this one will be up on the blog next week.Dirty London by Kelley York

This
book was just okay for me. I liked that it dealt with coming out and I
loved the emphasis on family, but it was missing that special something
that made me love it.

I
realized recently that I've read WAY too few books written by women of
colour, and I'm actively trying to change that. I kept seeing Let it Shine,
and after an author friend of mine recommended it last week, I finally
bought it. It's set during the 60s Civil Rights Movement, and since
February is Black History Month I thought this would be the perfect book
to read right now.

I'm
planning to do another Irish Week around St Patrick's Day like I did
last year, and I have a few books I want to read either set in Ireland
and/or written by Irish authors, including this one. If you have any
recommendations for books set in Ireland or written by Irish authors, please let me know!

What have you been reading lately? Have you read any of the books I've been reading? I'll be doing the rounds of fellow It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
participants, but in case I miss you, be sure to leave a link below so I
can visit you! Also, if you did a general weekly recap, feel free to
leave a link so I can check it out!

There are so lovely and romantic looking book on your shelves this week - enjoy!

I like the idea of an Irish challenge week - I always love Marian Keyes and Kate Kerrigan. I visited Irleand in 2015 and went crazy over their books, there are so many great Irish writers around. I could almost have filled a whole suitcase full of books!

As a rule I don't like to read spin-offs, but when I clicked through to your glowing review of A Study in Charlotte, I thought maybe I might like that one, so thank you for another book I can add to my "Maybe" reading list.
